Riva is easily the most underrated Eurovision win because what do you mean they were the ONLY Yugoslav winners of Eurovision and will always be but no one remembers them??

Birmingham 1998: The Postcards

A little feature of Eurovision that I've largely ignored until now are the postcards. The short filmed sequences introducing the next act and also fitting in a little bit of tourism promotion for the hosts.

They started in 1970 as filler for a contest shortened by boycotts, but then went on to become a much loved part of the festival, giving the stage team precious seconds to redress the stage. With the dawn of delegations bringing props and more complex staging that's now essential. They also give the production team a chance to express themselves outside the arena.

The UKs 1998 postcards are probably some of the best ever made. Each features some aspect of the UKs economy and culture finishing with the reveal of the flag for the next act. Watching them becomes a game of working out how and when the flag will appear, sometimes in remarkably creative ways.

Nothing really tops a Swiss contact lens in the eye of someone who's just witnessed the Loch Ness monster though does it?

10 Eurovision 2023 Songs as...Taylor Swift Albums?

Yes. You heard that right. It was just a silly little idea that came into my head as we say goodbye to the 2023 songs (or not since a lot of them have found homes on our playlists!) and get ready for the 2024 season. It's still early (no songs, and only 2 artists have been announced), so if I do it now, it won't interfere with all the 2024 content we will be prepping for come the new year! So, I've picked 10 songs from the 2023 list and assigned them to a Taylor Swift album (solely based on my opinion, and I just choose the songs without thinking of my personal ranking).

Debut: So...the first album...the hardest one for me to come up with one for. But then, I thought that "What They Say" by Victor Vernicos from Greece kinda fits the bill. Aside from both Taylor and Victor being 16 when they released their respective pieces, "What They Say" gives me some minor "Tied Together With A Smile" vibes, which match the first album rather well.

Fearless: With a song like "Mr. Perfectly Fine" being such a sassy breakup song, I feel that the United Kingdom fits the Fearless bill here. "I Wrote A Song" by Mae Muller would fit onto Fearless perfectly. With the lyrical clapbacks (that could also work on Speak Now), it fits on an album with songs like "Mr. Perfectly Fine" or even the confessional NOT breakup song that is "You Belong With Me"

Speak Now: Speak Now is probably as close as Taylor has gotten to a rock album. With songs like "Better Than Revenge", "Haunted", and even the recently freed from the vault "Electric Touch" have these rock elements...kinda like how "Promise" by Voyager from Australia has those elements too...plus it's one of my mom's winners with her favorite Taylor album.*also taking this moment to wish Danny a speedy recovery!*

Red: I've thought of a couple of songs that would match this album. As Eurovision has as many heartbreak songs as they do love songs. And what's better than Cyprus' "Break A Broken Heart" by Andrew Lambrou for the heartbreak album? I mean, it just works! Right?

1989: I spent some time thinking about this one with it being my favorite Taylor album. And while I almost picked Finland's song, I decided to go for Käärijä's friends over in Slovenia. Joker Out's "Carpe Diem" is fun. It's parties with friends. It's perfect for big cities. What else is those? 1989.

reputation: For this one, it was probably the one that inspired this blog. I chose Serbia's "Samo Mi Se Spava" by Luke Black for reputation. Aside from the specific animal imagery that both the album and the song have (the lobster for the song and snakes for the album), the electro elements are similar to me. Plus, I've called "Samo Mi Se Spava" by villain song and people say you go into your "reputation Era" when you're in your villain era.

Lover: This one was another easy pick. Armenia's entry has the album title in the name! Brunette's "Future Lover" fits the overall theme the Lover album has of...well...love! It also qualifies because a song for your future lover can 100% count....I've written a piece to mine in my vault!

folklore: It's no Eurovision 2023 post without me mentioning Latvia's "Aijā" by Sudden Lights. While the soft rock elements would be better suited for something like Speak Now or Red, I chose folklore for one reason and one reason only. folklore is my favorite album to write to. Sudden Lights has three albums of songs, plus Aijā, plus a couple of post-Eurovision releases that are literally perfect writing music. I've tried it, and their album "Miljards vasaru" ranks up there as a favorite writing album.

evermore: Yeah...I've thought it through. And Moldova's "Soarele Si Luna" by Pasha Parfeni just gives me evermore vibes. Plus, it's kinda cool that I put my winner and my sister's winner as the sister albums. It's just cute.

Midnights: This is gonna sound like a bad joke but hear me out, The Netherlands' "Burning Daylight" by Mia and Dion would fit on Midnights. It sounds and feels reflective, which matches the theme that Midnights was trying to portray. And yeah...the title works too...

So, that's only 10 songs. If a favorite of yours didn't make it, feel free to ask and I'll do my best to assess it! In fact, I'd be willing to do a song not from 2023 if you're dying to know about one of those!

MY FAVOURITE EUROVISION ENTRIES: DAY 52 - Yugoslavia

And with Yugoslavia I reach the end of my list. 52 countries have participated in the Eurovision Song Contest since its beginning in 1956.

There were a few Yugoslav entries I like, including Tajči in 1990 with Hajde da ludujemo and Baby Doll - Brazil but today I had to go with their winning song from 1989 where they were the underdog going into the contest.

It’s been interesting going through the countries that have participated, and while the number of countries competing next year looks to be on the low side, I hope more countries will return or maybe we will see the debut of some new countries in the contest.

Eurovision Fact #149:

Céline Dion opened the 1989 show with both her winning song from the previous year, and her at the time new English language single entitled 'Where Does My Heart Beat Now.' This practice is commonplace in the contest.

The song would go on to be the singer's first major hit in the United States, launching her to become a household name in the nation.
